Middletown budget preview: small operating surplus but special‑education, legal and purchased services pressure funds The budget committee reviewed February finances showing a modest $259,816 operating surplus but flagged growing purchased‑services deficits, increased legal spending tied to personnel and contract negotiations, elevator and pool safety repairs, and magnet‑tuition shortfalls that leave a net projected deficit of about $35,217.
